Yes.  I did.  I wrote him a very nice email, letting him know that what he 
did was UCE, and spam, and certainly in violation of good business 
ethics.  I pointed out, politely, that I never said I had a problem, and 
that I didn't even own a RaQ (I rent), so why would I buy one of his.

In other words, I treated him with respect.

I sent a copy to the CEO of his company (in the CC field, so he'd 
notice).  I also left a voice message on the CEO's voicemail, telling him 
about this employee with less brains than breakfast.

I also let him know that I'd be contacting his upstream, digex, and that he 
could easily cost his company their entire net presence.

I did that, too, of course <smile>.
